74 Modern Bow Crossbow
The second day was a big gathering in Xingcheng, and Grandpa Luo wanted to fulfill his promise and take a few members of his family to the market.
Because of happiness, when the sky was still gray, Luo Xiaoni and Luo Niuniu went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, the vegetable leaves were used for cooking, and the vegetable roots and the like were cleaned up to feed the chickens and pigs.
Luo Xiaoqiao also made breakfast on a whim, it was a simple green onion egg cake, but it looked attractive in color, dotted with green onions, soft but chewy in the mouth, not only beautiful looking, but also good to eat.
After eating, while he hadn't gone out yet, Luo Xiaoqiao sat in the yard with a cup of hot tea, looking at the mountains in the distance, thinking about what to plant in that mountain.
The hill stretched out over a thousand acres, and was now a wild grove of pine trees, mixed with ash and walnut, and various wild fruit trees.
Because of their family's carpentry workshop, the side at the foot of the mountain has been cut down a lot, and it has been replaced with small saplings, which also looks lush.
Luo Xiaoqiao thought, among the hardy fruit trees, grapes are quite suitable for planting in the mountains, and if there are more, you can also make wine, and then plant some plum trees and peach trees, and when they bloom, there are peach blossoms everywhere, which is enough to call it a fairyland on earth.
While thinking about it, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.
Now Luo Xiaoni's breakfast has become one of the signatures of Heyi Tower's breakfast, and Wang Jinqiao sends a carriage to pick it up every day.
There is no other, there are many types, and there are enough tricks. What goldfish steamed dumplings, jade cabbage, sugar steamed cheese...... There is also what soup dumplings, the ingredients are too fragrant, the soy sauce is made by home, you can't see it on the market, a bite of the soup, fresh, fragrant, many guests rush to line up every day.
The farmer had an early meal, and after the meal, he caught Wang Jinqiao's pick-up carriage over, and the family planned to hitchhike to the market.
However, Luo Xiaoqiao still couldn't make it in the end, because King Jing came over with Feng Chenhao.
Luo Xiaoqiao sighed, these two gold owners couldn't afford to offend, she said hello to Grandpa Luo, and asked them to go first, don't worry about the family. She followed King Jing's subordinates to the vacant workshop.
The workshop has long been cleaned up, the location is between the greenhouses of You Shen and the Luo family, these two groups of people have passed, and it will not attract people's attention, the workshop area is large enough, the surrounding area is also very empty, there is no place for Tibetans, and the secrecy is excellent.
When Luo Xiaoqiao arrived, several elders of Tianji Pavilion were debugging.
"Lord Wang, the range is not enough."
"The accuracy isn't particularly good, either." It was said.
"Miss Luo, take a look", Mu Jingyi picked up a bow and crossbow and handed it to Luo Xiaoqiao.
Luo Xiaoqiao walked over silently, dismantled and unloaded, and carefully inspected all parts.
As the saying goes, connoisseurs will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. The design drawings of things were given by her Luo Xiaoqiao, and she knew much better than ordinary people what problems she would encounter and how to deal with them.
The workmanship of these parts is very good, exactly according to her requirements, the bow blade is assembled with an eight-wheel component pulley, which can reduce the winding force by more than two times, and the new trigger system can also make the crossbow feel light and low swing when firing.
But upon inspection, she found a number of flaws, the root of which was that she ignored the harsh requirements of modern bows and crossbows for raw materials, and no matter how skilled these craftsmen were, they could not achieve the desired effect.
"Lord Wang, the strength of the material is not enough, and the string is too tight and easy to break, so it affects the range. There is also a muzzle, which is easy to deform when heated, which also affects the accuracy," Luo Xiaoqiao said.
As she spoke, she adjusted the strength and position of the strings, and installed a bow and crossbow sight that she had adjusted in the past two days: "Now it can only exert about sixty percent of its power."
"Sixty percent?" Mu Jingyi was a little disappointed.
Luo Xiaoqiao didn't speak, the bow and crossbow were on his shoulder, his eyes looked out through the lens of the sight, and the momentum of his whole body became solemn, making people dare not underestimate it for a moment.
The vision of the sight is good, the scenery in the distance is magnified, and Luo Xiaoqiao pulls the trigger with his finger.
The arrow of the bow and crossbow shot out with a "whoosh", and the pine tree fifty meters away was pierced through the heart by an arrow, and the force was so great that Mu Jingyi's originally depressed expression instantly became high.
Luo Xiaoqiao put down the bow and crossbow, and returned to the image of the soft and glutinous little girl: "The raw materials are not good, I can only say that I can make do with it." ”
The effect is much worse than what she used in the army at that time, after all, many spare parts at that time were imported, and the size was accurate to the extent that the naked eye could not distinguish it.
Feng Chenhao looked at the slightly regretful expression on her face, and didn't know what to say, even if these sixty percent of the bows and crossbows were more than twice as good as the ones in the army.
He took the bow and crossbow in Luo Xiaoqiao's hand, and put it on his shoulder like her: "I'll try it"
"How?" Feng Chenhao urged Luo Xiaoqiao a little anxiously, and he was still slandering in his heart, why is he so eyeless, don't you know how to come up and guide?
"You aim at the middle crosshair, just shoot." Luo Xiaoqiao said slowly.
Feng Chenhao's eyes meowed to the sight, then looked away, and looked through the sight again: "Xiao Qiao, this can bring things closer to the distance, I can see it clearly."
"Yes, this is made of the lenses you gave, and the two sets of lenses can be magnified together, but the effect is average, it's better than nothing", Luo Xiaoqiao's tone was full of regret.
Feng Chenhao pulled the trigger like her, but the bow and arrow did not hit the tree, but grazed the trunk of the tree and shot against the wall, almost scaring Luo Xiaoqiao to death.
She hurriedly stopped: "Er Shao, your arrow is lowered, there is work outside, turn around and shoot out of the wall, you want to die"
Feng Chenhao shook his shoulders a little uncomfortably, and continued to be eager to try.
However, seeing Mu Jingyi's cold face, he handed over the bow and crossbow very doggedly: "Cousin, try it."
Mu Jingyi didn't say a word and pulled the trigger. He obviously had a much better grasp of the wind direction and the strength of the bow and crossbow than Feng Chenhao, and hit the target with one arrow. This bow and crossbow is indeed much stronger than the current military equipment.
"That's sixty percent?" One of the elders' eyes widened as he saw the effect of their three arrows in quick succession.
After they made it, it was not that they had not tried, but the effect was not good, and it was not even as good as an ordinary bow and crossbow.
Sure enough, just based on the understanding of the drawings, it is far from the shock that Luo Xiaoqiao brought to them by himself.
"Miss Luo, if you encounter problems in the future, can you come and ask for advice?" A stocky middle-aged man asked her eagerly.
"Sorry, probably not. I still have a workshop at home and farm, and there are a lot of things, so I really don't have that much time. Luo Xiaoqiao simply refused, "You have so many skilled craftsmen, I am just a little woman, and I dare not play a three-board axe in front of all adults."
As soon as King Jing and Feng Chenhao heard it, they knew that this was her excuse.
The short and fat man wanted to say something more, but Feng Chenhao stabbed him and snorted in the direction of the Luo family.
The short and fat man stopped talking for a while, how could he forget that their Great Elder had already settled in someone else's house, and if they needed anything, they could just find the Great Elder.
